Data of type text

What it is.

This is an alphanumeric field for entering text up to 255 characters. It can be used to enter remarks, descriptions, annotations, etc.

How to configure it in the part model editor.

This field is shown in the app when requesting the data to the mobile user, in the PDF generated with the work report filled in, appearing as header data, as well as in the Excel export as the column header.

Finally, a default value can be defined. So when this text type data is requested from the application, this field is already pre-filled and the user can simply add or edit it and modify the record.

The "required" check indicates that this work report cannot be sent without filling in the indicated data. Note that it does not work the same if the text type data is located within a section in part lines or in part header or footer. In the first case, it will only be mandatory if a part line is registered, but in case of placing the data in the part header or footer, it will always be mandatory.

With the Check "visible PDF" you can manage whether it is displayed in the PDF or not.

How it looks in the application

When creating a report, you can select the text data type in the report to add relevant information about the work performed.

In this case, the text type data has been configured to add comments at work report.
